چکیده

Solubility, the phenomenon of dissolution of solute in solvent to give a homogenous system, is one of the important parameters to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for desired (anticipated) pharmacological response. The major problem encountered with formulation development of new chemical entities as well as for the generic development is low aqueous solubility. It is seen that out of the total number of NCE (new chemical entities) developed, 40% seems to be practically insoluble in water. Thus solubility becomes the major challenge for a formulation scientist. For any drug to be absorbed it should be present in the solution form at the site of absorption. For enhancement of solubility there are various techniques that are used. These techniques include; Physical modifications techniques like media milling/ nanocrystal technology, cryogenic technology, supercritical fluid process, modification of the crystal habit, complexation, micellar technologies and chemical modifications. Other techniques like co-crystallization, co-solvency, hydrotrophy are used to increase the solubility of very soluble drugs like dolargin, loperamide, tubocurarine, doxorubicin, ibuprofen, griseofulvin, diazepam, naproxen, carbamazepine, nifedipine, phytosterol etc. Thus selection of solubility improving methods depends on drug property, site of absorption, and required dosage form characteristics.

Formulation and Evaluation of Aceclofenac Injection Made by Mixed Hydrotropic Solubilization Technique

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. It is practically insoluble in water. The effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. The enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...

Solubility enhancement of simvastatin: a review.

Fairly soluble drugs in gastrointestinal (GI) media exhibit complete oral absorption, and thus good bioavailability. About 40% of drugs are not soluble in water in practice and therefore are slowly absorbed, which results in insufficient and uneven bioavailability and GI toxicity. Thus, most exigent phase of drug development practice particularly for oral dosage forms is the enhancement of drug...

Development of Microemulsion for Solubility Enhancement of Clopidogrel

Clopidogrel, an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, selectively inhibits the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its platelet receptor and the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation. Oral bioavailability of clopidogrel is very low (less than 50%), due to its poor water solubility. The aim of this investigation was ...
